Summary/Abstract: This study is a short history of the Coral Temple from the time it was built until today. It highlights: the modernism of this holy place, without impairing upon tradition; its religious, cultural, philanthropic and political functions. The multifaceted activity of the Temple is presented chronologically, across different political regimes of modern and contemporary Romania. The erection of the Coral Temple, in the 1850s and 60s, marks the beginning of modern times, as well as the beginning and self-emancipation of the Jews in the Romanian context.
